Building upon the overall design language that Huawei debuted earlier this year with the P20 series, the new Mate 20 Pro will once again make use of a notched display. However, in this case, it will be significantly bigger due to the Face ID-like technology that it incorporates, in addition to the usual in-ear speaker and front-facing camera. Additionally, there will once again be a chin towards the bottom. It’s clear that Huawei has made an effort to actually reduce the size but it hasn’t taken things to the same level as Apple – the company actually folds the controller beneath the panel, allowing for a bezel-less look. But understandably, this manufacturing process is much more expensive and would ultimately drive up the price of Huawei’s devices.

Elsewhere in the images, the presence of a new square-shaped camera on the rear is notable. This is home to three cameras and a dual-tone LED flash. More notable, though, is the lack of a rear-facing fingerprint scanner. This once again backs up claims of a new in-display reader.

As revealed by these images, it seems Huawei has a wide range of official cases in the works that will rival both Apple and Samsung’s offerings. These include the typically-cheap TPU cases alongside some slightly more premium silicone offerings. Moreover, the Chinese brand seemingly has a few flip covers in the works too including a leather option and one that could rival Samsung’s S-View case.

Presumably, these cases will all be announced on October 16 in London alongside the new Mate 20 series and the upcoming FreeBuds 2 Pro.

this will sell like hotcakes because its an apple rip-offs, androids really like that. Must be the end of Samsung because they’re late in notch game. They can just put 2tb, 8gb ram and 5000mah on their flagships but it will not sell because it will look like their predecessors.

Ok, so I've tried to find some measurements from the pictures to roughly get the size of the phone, if i use the one where we can see the credit card pockets inside the case, and decide that the width of the credit card pocket is 5,5cm, then measure up the phone and display size I get the following dimensions (roughly);
WxH: 6,9x15,1cm and screen size of 6,1"
I know we all asume 6,9" and 6,3" for mate pro and mate, but could we be wrong? Looks pretty similar to the size of the p20 pro..

Yeah, me too, 6,9 is phablet size and would have been a no-go for me, I would most likely just buy the p20 pro if that turned out to be the case. But now I`m real excited for the upcoming launch, full specs and pricing of the mate 20 pro. #mewantstobuy

I am an Android fan and I didn't have any issues with notch on smartphones. It didn't bother me on my Essential Phone and definitely don't notice it on my wife's X.
Now what makes the notch on Android phones a bit more acceptable for those who hate notches, is that it's an extension of the actual screen on almost every Android phone that has it, meaning, it won't overlap over content like it does on the iPhone X. Think of it as two small secondary screens, it's only purpose is to show the notification bar.
